This is for all you Wonder Women out there who are carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. It's time to heal that message that you SHOULD do it all and rewrite the message of what it really means to be a "Perfect Mom" "Perfect Woman." Hint....the word Imperfect is in there! ;)In this Discussion we discuss some of the "Wonder Woman" tendencies we have that develop from the messages of Shame. This includes the beliefs that we "should:"1). Do it ourselves!2) Don't ask for help3). You can't rely on others, can't trust them4). You are responsible for peoples feelings, behavior, and consequences.5) Compare yourself to Martha Stewart neighbor...etc.We identify the definition of Codependency and how we are motivated to control the things that are out of our control so that our own anxiety is decreased.Solution! Adjust those expectations, accept our Human limitations, utilize division of labor, prioritize the really important things (i.e. quality of love, relationships, time together), drop the less important things.Let it go if you couldn't prepare the organic meal! They ate, good enough for today! Tomorrow is a new day. But guess what!?! I may not have cooked the organic meal, made the beds, or cleaned the house....but we had reading time together, cuddled up, talked about their day and had some good mommy time. That is EXCELLENT Wonder Woman!
